Conservation, nature, and sustainability are the primary causes that are near and dear to hunters and target shooters across America. Fiocchi USA connects with their customers not only by providing quality shotshell and centerfire ammunition, but with its commitment to conservation with its EnviroShield initiative that has developed products such as GreenCore biodegradable shotgun wads that allow for minimal to zero environmental impression. Fiocchi USA is also proud to support conservation focused organizations such as; RMEF, SCI, Delta Waterfowl, Sportsmen’s Alliance, as well as, Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation. Fiocchi USA was an early adopter of OSCF’s national conservation engagement program called “Fill A Bag While Filling You Tag” that distributes reusable, biodegradable bags to hunters and target shooters across the country. Outdoorsmen and women take the bags along with them when they head to the woods, waters and field. The biodegradable bags make it easy to take a piece or two of trash out of nature resulting in a cleaner environment. “It is great to see companies like Fiocchi USA understand the benefit of conservation efforts. We thank them for being a Partner in Conservation with our ‘Fill A Bag’ program and are proud to bestow our “Conservation Partner of the Year” award to them.” noted Jim Curcuruto, OSCF’s Executive Director.
